Jermyn becomes Ireland’s leading scorer with six-goal haul
The Cork man, who has moved from hometown side Church of Ireland to Belgian outfit Royal Pingoin for the coming season, became Ireland’s top goalscorer of all time, overhauling the record of 79 set by former international team-mate Stephen Butler. The drag-flicking specialist’s opener in Friday night’s 5-0 dismissal of hosts Wales pulled him level with Butler, but he followed that up with a hat-trick against Austria on Saturday that backboned a 5-1 victory to make the record his own in style.
The 30-year-old hit two more in yesterday’s 8-0 rout of Sweden to bring his total for the weekend to six and give him a tally of 84 in just 144 appearances in the green shirt.
